I have an idea for a game where the premise is to go from living paycheck to paycheck, to being a billionaire. I could include an in-game stock market, in-game jobs of various salaries and recreational activities, so you have to balance the amount of money you gain with how much you spend, and you have to upkeep your own physical and mental well being.
I'd also have your expenses scale proportionately with your earnings, have your landlord raise your rent for no reason, have your job reduce your hours or cut your bonus, etc. The tutorials that tell you how to play the game are in-game items randomized in a loot box format, and you have to pay in-game currency to unlock them. But no matter how closely you follow the advice, no matter how many of them you unlock, and no matter how much grinding and climbing you do, you can never succeed. But then the kicker, I program in a microscopic chance that you start the game with $50 million dollars, and parents/lawyers who bail you out no matter how much you lose, such that you are guaranteed to eventually succeed.
I wanna see A) how long it takes for regular people to figure out it's impossible to win, B) how long it takes for the randomly selected billionaires to brag how fast they could beat the game, and C) how long it takes for those people to collide.
